Bid to criminalise water companies that don’t tackle sewage spills fails
  • I will probably do the same. Never really understood tactical voting. Is it just so you can say you voted for the winner? Realistically one vote here or there is unlikely to swing it so surely just vote for the candidate/party you want regardless of their chances?

  • Labour is headed for electoral triumph – then woe in government

    The party may have a 30-point lead in the polls, but its lack of real offering to voters will soon cause problems

    Gary, Indiana’s lawsuit against gunmakers is shot down by a new law, after surviving 25 years of appeals
  • In 2015, Indiana’s then-governor, Mike Pence, signed a law making the state’s immunity law retroactive to Aug. 26, 1999, four days before the city of Gary initially filed its lawsuit.

    How can you sign a retroactive law? Essentially making things legal which were illegal when they were committed and what about criminalising things which were legal? Could people be prosecuted for things that became crimes after they did them?

  • FarmBot: Open-Source CNC farming
  • Perfect, I will definitely be trying this. I have been looking for an excuse to buy a raspberry pi!

    I had a look at the moisture sensors which was really interesting and the waterproofing of the unit which was an ingenious budget idea. I would probably look to use cheaper/ simpler moisture sensors to start with.

    One thing I would be interested in is connecting it to a weather forecast service so it doesn’t irrigate when there is rain forecast.

    Thank you so much for developing and sharing this.

  • FarmBot: Open-Source CNC farming
  • I am really interested in small scale farm automation but not 3k interested! Keep meaning to automate irrigation which would save me a lot of time watering but not cost too much. Cnoc farming would be a fun project though

  • Removal of piracy communities
  • Thank you for your hard work. I feel that a delay of a few hours is acceptable for a voluntary service. I am sure there are many commercial services which have much worse communication.

    I personally feel that being able to discuss piracy but banning communities that have links that actively promote piracy seems like a sensible safe legal position. This is probably what I would do if there was even a possibility I might be legally liable for an instance.

    I can understand users frustration but I don’t think it’s fair to take it out on the admins. It is a thankless task which people do to benefit their community. The great thing with the fediverse is that you have other low cost options to turn to if an instance no longer works for you.

  • Nom~
  • My cat does this, he’s such a shit, a minute later he will hop on my lap for cuddles, “let’s just ignore the fact I just savaged you.” I then of course reward his had behaviour with strokes and cuddles!

    The police will be able to use their discretion except when instructed by the government.

    NMC found near the road

    Neighbours who had been feeding her said she was a stray, so we agreed to take her and find a good home for her. I wish we could keep her!

    Government’s own research contradicts Sunak’s 20mph speed limit claim

    www.opendemocracy.net Government’s own research contradicts Sunak’s 20mph claim

    Study in 2018 found most drivers backed plans despite PM’s claim they ‘don’t reflect people’s priorities’

    Government’s own research contradicts Sunak’s 20mph claim

    Recently drove in Scotland where built up areas generally have 20mph speed limits. I found It made little difference in overall journey time Felt safer, stopping distance much reduced Easier to join the traffic Similar speed as cyclists Felt safer and more relaxed as a pedestrian, easier to cross the road
